The 5th annual Children in Flight Justin Brandon Mahaffey Golf Outing held on September 28th, was a huge success. We were able to raise $3,800 to go toward our scholarships that will be given for the 2014 school year at Bullitt Central High School.

Thank you for the support from our players and sponsors for making this year a success. We appreciate your dedication in supporting education for students in our community. We would like to thank the following for their sponsorships and donations.

My understanding is local attorney Eric Farris has taken steps to encourage the Hillview City Council to amend it’s ordinances to no longer require owners of industrial or commercial property to maintain their properties so vegetation would not be over twelve inches high.

Every day driving to and from work on Highway 44 to 31W I see almost all drivers beside myself and a few others, exceeding the 25 mph speed limit in the school zones.

I am tired of tailgaters flying around me in excess of 35 mph in the school zone at the ramp to I-65. I cannot remember the last time I saw a police car in these zones. Bullitt County and Shepherdsville P.D. need to start being there for the children! And write some tickets!

I cannot understand why Fiscal Court is so upset with Jailer Knox. She operates the Detention Center to state requirements, has not had any major problems with the inmates, has a loyal staff and work force and is very cooperative with assisting the county and cities in various clean-up efforts.

Recently she purchased two vehicles with funds from the Detention Center canteen. The vehicles are used exclusively for the transportation of inmates and staff. The use of canteen funds for this purpose is legal and cost the taxpayers nothing.

On July 1, 1863 free mail delivery was authorized in cities. From the start, carriers were expected to make deliveries “as frequently as the public convenience…shall require,” Monday through Saturday. (12 Stat.703.)
